Idea Cellular Complaints & Reviews

MY pre-paid IDEA Cellular no is [protected] (pune). on 12 nov'14, there was a promotional call from idea regarding free of charge activation of dialer tone for 3months.on 13th, they sent sms regarding activation of free of charge dialer tone. On the same day, they send a sms regarding charging of Rs. 125 for dialer tone activation for 6 months. I call idea, talk to Mr. Ganesh regarding deactivation of dialer tone and return of Rs. 125. But he refused to do so. I think this is one of the fraudest act for looting customers. Please take strong action Regards Rupon Sinha alternate no [protected]

Hi I have used IDEA mobile no:[protected] from march 2014 with Unlimited STD plan. All of the sudden my outgoing is barred on 1st August 2014 without any information. I called up 198 for complaint and they asked to visit nearby outlet for the same.Then I visited Andheri military road Outlet and asked the reason for disconnection and solution for activation. But I didn't get proper reply for the questions. So I asked them to close my...

I purchased a new Post Paid connection of IDEA from a local shop. I paid 300 Rupees as security deposit for the same.Idea sent a person for verification process two days later. He verified all details, and asked me whether I was employed or not, I replied I'm self employed and I own a construction firm. I have all the documents to proove that including my DIN no., PAN no. ITR (past 4 years). After two days when I enquired about what happened to the sim and why isn't it active yet. They said that my profile has been rejected and the reason is Low Profile (person is unemployed and thus can't pay bills). I didn't know why he did that. I asked the shopkeeper he told me whether he ( verification guy) asked me for some money. He then told me if I would have given Rs. 50 more to the guy my would have been active by now. I wonder if Idea even wants to add numbers to its customer base or it is just satisfied with the existing income. Poor verification process of Idea.

I was used Idea number [protected] for month with unlimited std plan from march 2014 and on 1st of August my outgoing automatically get disconnects without any prior information.I called customer care they asked me to visit Idea outlet. So i visited Idea Outlet where i bought the sim and plan. But i didn't get the proper reply for disconnection and solution for activation. So i asked to close my connection and return my deposit Rs.500 but the refused to do so. I came out saying i wont pay the bill till i get my money back and holded the last payment of Rs.1126.97 . Next month i got updated bill for Rs.1575.27. So i asked the reason for the extra charges and the explained the older trails via mail case ID: E1-[protected] september 8th. Their reply is nothing but i need to pay the said updated amount and i will get my money Rs.500 cheque to billing address. Without my fault why i need to pay extra.So i asked to adjust Rs.500 in the bill and send the remaining with reversal of the fine so i will close the account. But again and again the same response only i got and got the next month bill rs.1924.6. Even after i have given conformation to close my number of 15th September 2014 Case ID:E1-[protected]. Then i asked why again it is charged even after the conformation of disconnection.Again i got the answer nothing but i need to pay the said amount.Again on 10th October 2014 case ID: C1-[protected]. I send detailed mail about the all issues and reply given by support and again asked for the disconnection, but i never got a reply for this case ID and next updated bill of Rs.2119.43.And got a sms saying if i am not cleared the due legal action will be taken in 2 days. So went to the same outlet to close the account and stop the harassment from Idea. But surprisingly i came to know my account is still active. So asked to close the account and adjust Rs.500 Deposit in bill so i can pay remaining and close once it for all. But they cant do it only after closing the account the Rs.500 Cheque will send to my billing address. Sadly i have vacated my rented(billing) address as my agreement is ended. I asked the solution how will i get my money then but no conformation for the same. So again i didn't paid the payment and mailed again about the problem Case id:C1-[protected], but thier reply is just i need to pay the said payment and will get my cheque in the billing address(So how dump is me or the replier). Again i asked the same question elaborately finally i got the reply as i never asked for closing the account." Even i have mail trails and proof they are lying that i never did that" and the cheque will send to billing or any of the local address. How will i believe them???. So i tried to write to appellate.[protected]@idea.adityabirla.com, but mail rejected. So i am writing in the forum even i found same complaint from one of the user from kolkatta. If anybody responsible in IDEA cellular, kindly try to solve the issue. Now my Issues in short. 1)I want to pay extra than my first bill amount because the disconnection was did by IDEA which is not my fault. 2)Let me know the solution for getting my Rs.500 deposit back as i vacated the billing address. Awaiting your reply. Thanks and Regards T.Boopathy [protected]

I am Akhilesh reddy vangala, my phone number is [protected]. i have ported my mobile number to your idea network last month on around 27th. my problem is that i got a call from your customer care service and told me about 199 rupees post paid offer but when i paid for the particular plan i got a call from the service centre saying there is no such kind of 199 rupee post paid plan, that's ok they said its gonna be a better 299 rupee plan per month which holds benefits for 600 local minutes and 250 mb data and 150 messages per month. i agreed for the plan. on 13th of november i got the un-billed bill of rupees 895.75 which is not at all fair for which i have used only 112 mb data and 52 messages and some limited amount of calls in list detailed. i called on your customer care service executives for the reason and they are saying it as i have opted for an different plan which i feel is a fraud and cheating done by the idea cellular services... please kindly take my complaint and reply me as soon as possible as i am not interested in paying for the fraud bill and loosing my number... thanking you

I had activated a 2G data plan of 58 rs for 1GB for 30 days validity.on 13 oct so it was valid uptill 13 nov. But it showed that you have available 2G balance of 2.5 GB in your account till 5 Dec. Also after activating this plan I had available balance in my prepaid account of around 70-75 rupees. And now the available balance is shown to be 0 even I have not used any extra 2G data and have incurred any calling charges. Then how can they charge me 70 rs for using data beyond my data pack. This is ridiculous. Sir please look into this matter at your earliest and hoping that the amount will be refunded back.. yours sincerely. Thank you.

My Mobile No.[protected] is Lifetime Postpaid Connection. I have paid Rs.1000/- towards lifetime charges with 0 Rental. I am having that receipt which I have paid for Lifetime. For the above mobile number you have disconnected both Incoming as well as outgoing connection. How can you disconnect Incoming as well as outgoing. There is no outstanding lying on that mobile Number. Even though if lying you cannot disconnect the incoming as it is lifetime Postpaid connection. How can you disconnect simply. Yesterday i.e. on 10/11/2014 when I contacted the Customer Care executive he simply told that the bill is not paid and I told him that there is no balance lying in that account and he told that he will transfer the call to his superiors and he did not connected and I heard the message that "Please check the number you have dialed". The Idea is playing games with their customers. If this is the case why they have announced the Lifetime connection scheme and why they have collected money from Me. If the connection is not restored I will proceed legally with Idea as the service part is very worst. I will file a legal petition against the Idea company. N S SUDHAKAR

I am using IDEA postpaid no. [protected] in MP. This month, the bill has Rs. 819 for extra data usage showing almost 200 MB extra usage. But I used only up to 30 MB extra data after getting notification from Idea. I have 270 MB free data usage in my monthly plan. So, total data usage should be 300 MB approximately. But bill was made of 470 MB. I do not why they do this. They should be punished for this act. If actually I used 200 MB extra date then why they notified me about 30 MB. This is a clear cheating. Moreover I told them that if you are forcing me to accept this extra 200 MB usages then do one thing. Activate a pack of Rs.175 comprising 500 MB free 3G data. So that problem could be considered and resolved from Rs. 819 to Rs.175. But they did not care. They can offer 1 GB data only for Rs. 250 but are stood stiff on Rs. 819 for 200 MB according to them. They can lure new customers by any means but customer who is sincere and under their banner cannot get any justice. Their appellate authority Mr. Goel was going to consider this but finally, their Customer care said that they did not even get the complaint. I told that I would leave the service. They said that after bill payment you can. Finally, I do not know whether you will consider the problem or not but I am at injustice. Please try to avail justice for me.
